FIG. 4B shows the relationship between the speed pattern SP of the car 12 and the opening / closing speed pattern of the door 13 and the start and end of each broadcast time zone.
In other words, in the acceleration broadcast time zone Pa, the starting time τ0 of the car 12 is the initial Pas, and the deceleration start time is the final Pae. The deceleration broadcast time zone Pr is defined as the start Prs when the car 12 starts to decelerate and the end Pre when the door opens before the target floor 14o.

[0018]
When the ascending / descending distance Fn is 1, it is a short-distance traveling. As shown in detail in FIG. 8, if the car 12 is started at time τ0, the initial Pas is τ0, and the prediction is based on the speed pattern SP1. Thus, the final Pae becomes τ11.

Also in this case, the time τ26 of the final period Pce uses the time corrected with the value calculated by the passenger number detection signal.
[0020]
When the lift distance Fn is 3 or more, it is long-distance traveling, and as shown in detail in FIG. 6, if the car 12 is started at time τ0, the starting Pas is τ0, and based on the speed pattern SP3.

The initial period Pcs is τ34, and the final period Pce is τ36.
Similarly, in this case, the time τ36 of the final Pce is the time corrected with the value calculated by the passenger number detection signal.
[0021]

The guide broadcast An converted into a symbol string by converting the voice, and the duration Lt of the guide broadcast An The broadcast time zone P for sending out the guide broadcast An, the broadcast timing Tm indicating the start time of the guide broadcast An from the beginning of the broadcast time zone P, and the broadcast timing Tm are moved to Broadcast data including a broadcast timing adjustment range Δt that defines a range for adjusting the broadcast start time of the guide broadcast An is recorded together with a number D (n) that identifies the broadcast data.
[0022]
That is, the broadcast data D1 relates to the guide broadcast A1, and this guide broadcast A1 is broadcast at the broadcast timing T21 in the broadcast time period Po at the opening time of the door, Lt1, and back and forth in the broadcast timing adjustment range −δ21 to + δ21. It can be adjusted. The same applies hereinafter.
Here, both the guide broadcast A2 and the guide broadcast A3 are broadcast at the broadcast timing T41 in the door closing broadcast time zone Pc, and are selected according to the door opening / closing signal from the elevator control device 1. .
[0023]
In addition, the guidance broadcast A4 is also broadcast in the door closing broadcast time zone Pc, but the broadcast timing T51 is broadcast after the guidance broadcast A2 or the guidance broadcast A3 at the broadcast timing T41 is broadcast. Means.
Further, the guidance broadcast A5 and the guidance broadcast A6 are also broadcast in the broadcast time zone Pa during acceleration, but after the guidance broadcast A5 is broadcast at the broadcast timing T01, the guidance broadcast A6 is broadcast at the broadcast timing T02. .
[0024]
Furthermore, the guide broadcast A101 to the guide broadcast A10 (f) and the guide broadcast A201 to the guide broadcast A20 (f) are broadcast during the deceleration broadcast time zone Pr. The corresponding one is selected from the guidance broadcast A101 to the guidance broadcast A10 (f) and broadcast at the broadcast timing T11, and the corresponding one of the guidance broadcast A201 to the guidance broadcast A20 (f) corresponds to the destination floor signal. One is selected and broadcast at broadcast timing T12.
[0025]
FIG. 5 is an explanatory diagram showing a method for adjusting the broadcast timing Tm, and shows a case where the guide broadcasts A5 and A6 are broadcast in the broadcast time zone Pa during acceleration.
1. In the case of FIG.
FIG. 5 (a) shows a long-distance running with a lift distance Fn of 3 or more, and a speed pattern SP3 (shown in FIG. 6) corresponding to the long-distance running is set. If the car 12 is started at time τ0, the start Pas is time τ0, the end Pae is predicted to be time τ31 based on the speed pattern SP3, and the broadcast time zone Pa at acceleration is set. The guidance broadcast A5 is started when the broadcast timing T01 has elapsed from the start period Pas, and ends at the duration Lt5.
Furthermore, the guidance broadcast A6 is started when the broadcast timing T02 has elapsed from the start Pas, and ends at the duration Lt6. Accordingly, the guidance broadcast A6 is predicted to end before the final Pae, and there is no overlap between the guidance broadcast A5 and the guidance broadcast A6, so the broadcast timings T01 and T02 are not adjusted.
[0026]
2. In the case of FIG.
FIG. 5B shows a medium-distance traveling with a lift distance Fn of 2, and a speed pattern SP2 (shown in FIG. 7) corresponding to the intermediate-distance traveling is set. If the car 12 is activated at time τ0, the start Pas is time τ0, the end Pae is predicted to be time τ21 based on the speed pattern SP2, and the broadcast time zone Pa during acceleration is set.
[0027]
By the way, the acceleration broadcast time zone Pa by the speed pattern SP2 is shorter than that by the speed pattern SP3. Therefore, the guide broadcast A6 does not end within the acceleration broadcast time zone Pa in an unadjusted state.
Therefore, the broadcast timing T02 of the guide broadcast A6 is advanced by δ02 ′ and set to T02 ′ = T02−δ02 ′ so that the guide broadcast A6 ends within the acceleration broadcast time zone Pa.
With the advance of the broadcast timing T02, the broadcast timing T01 is advanced by δ01 ′ and set to T01 ′ = T01−δ01 ′, and adjustment is performed so as to avoid the overlap between the guide broadcast A5 and the guide broadcast A6.
[0028]
3. In the case of FIG.
FIG. 5 (c) shows a short-distance running with an elevation distance Fn of 1, and a speed pattern SP1 (shown in FIG. 8) corresponding to the short-distance running is set. If the car 12 is started at time τ0, the start Pas is time τ0, the end Pae is predicted to be time τ11 based on the speed pattern SP1, and the broadcast time zone Pa at acceleration is set.
[0029]
By the way, since the broadcast time zone Pa during acceleration by the speed pattern SP1 is shorter than that in the case of the speed pattern SP2, the broadcast timings T01 and T02 are advanced to the limit values of the adjustment ranges, respectively, and T01 ″ = T01− Only by adjusting δ01 and T02 ″ = T02−δ02, the guidance broadcast A6 does not end within the broadcast time zone Pa during acceleration.
Therefore, in conjunction with adjustment of the broadcast timings T01 and T02, the broadcast speeds of the guide broadcasts A5 and A6 are increased to shorten the broadcast duration Lt5 to Lt5 ′ and the broadcast duration Lt6 to Lt6 ′ for acceleration. Adjustment is made so that the guidance broadcasts A5 and A6 end within the broadcast time zone Pa.
[0030]
FIG. 6 is an explanatory diagram showing the operation process of the elevator in time series when the ascending / descending distance Fn is long distance traveling.
The first floor 14s is the first floor, the destination floor 14o is the fourth floor, and the traveling distance Fn is 3, and the speed pattern SP3 is set for the traveling distance Fn. When the car 12 is actually started from the first floor 14s at the time τ0, the car 12 is predicted to accelerate based on the speed pattern SP3, starts to decelerate at the time τ31, and stops at the destination floor 14o at the time τ33. is expected.
[0031]
It is predicted that the door 13 starts to open at time τ32 before the car 12 stops on the destination floor 14o and ends at time τ34. After the passenger boarding / exiting, the door 13 is predicted to start closing at time τ 35, and is further predicted to end door closing at time τ 36.
[0032]
From the time τ0 to time τ31, the acceleration broadcast time zone Pa, from time τ31 to time τ32, the deceleration time broadcast time Pr, and from time τ32 to time τ34, the door opening time broadcast time. It is the band Po, and the time τ34 to the time τ36 is the door closing broadcast time band Pc.
Each broadcast time zone P is sufficiently long, and as described in FIG. 5A, the corresponding guide broadcast An can be transmitted without adjusting the broadcast timing Tm recorded in the broadcast data memory 18.
[0033]
Accordingly, when the operation process of the elevator is in the acceleration broadcast time zone Pa, broadcast data D5 and D6 including the broadcast timing Tm in the acceleration broadcast time zone Pa are read from the broadcast data memory 18, and the guidance broadcast is performed at the broadcast timing T01. A5 and a guidance broadcast A6 are sent at T02.
[0034]
When the operation process of the elevator becomes the broadcast time zone Pr during deceleration, the elevator control device 1 among the broadcast data D101 to D10 (f) and D201 to D20 (f) in which the broadcast timing Tm is included in the broadcast time zone Pr during deceleration. Broadcast data D104 and D204 are read from the broadcast data memory 18 based on the destination floor signal indicating that the destination floor 14o from the fourth floor is the fourth floor, the guide broadcast A104 is sent at the broadcast timing T11, and the guide broadcast A204 is sent at the broadcast timing T12. Are sent out respectively.
[0035]
When the elevator operation process is in the door-opening broadcast time zone Po, broadcast data D1 including the broadcast timing Tm in the door-opening broadcast time zone Po is read from the broadcast data memory 18, and the guide broadcast A1 is transmitted at the broadcast timing T21. Sent out.
Since the opening time broadcasting time period Po is constant, the broadcasting timing T21 is not normally adjusted.
[0036]
When the elevator operation process becomes the door closing broadcast time zone Pc, out of the broadcast data D2 and D3 in which the broadcast timing Tm is included in the door closing broadcast time zone Pc, based on the driving direction signal from the elevator control device 1, The broadcast data D2 is read from the broadcast data memory 18. Further, the broadcast data D4 is read, and the guide broadcast A2 is sent out at the broadcast timing T41, and the guide broadcast A4 is sent out at the broadcast timing T51.
[0037]
The passenger number detection signal is obtained by detecting the number of waiting passengers at the landing or by counting the actual number of passengers from the car 12. By assuming the door closing start time based on this passenger number detection signal, the end Pce of the door closing broadcasting time zone Pc is reset. Therefore, as described with reference to FIG. 3, the door closing broadcast time zone Pc varies depending on the number of passengers, and is adjusted within the range of the variation width Pcw so that it is long when it is large and short when it is small.
In the example of FIG. 6, the number of passengers is a normal number of people, and the values recorded in the broadcast data memory 18 are used for the broadcast timing T41 and the broadcast timing T51 and are not adjusted.
[0038]
FIG. 7 is an explanatory diagram showing, in chronological order, the operation process of the elevator when the lift distance Fn is a medium distance travel.
The first departure floor 14s is the first floor, and the destination floor 14o is the third floor. Therefore, the traveling distance Fn is a medium distance traveling, and the speed pattern SP2 is set for the lifting distance Fn. This speed pattern SP2 ends in a shorter time than the speed pattern SP3.
That is, when the car 12 is actually started from the first floor 14s at time τ0, the car 12 is predicted to accelerate based on the speed pattern SP2, and starts to decelerate at time τ21, and arrives at the destination floor 14o at time τ23. Expected.
[0039]
It is predicted that the door 13 starts to open at time τ22 before the car 12 arrives at the destination floor 14o and ends at time τ24. After the passenger boarding / exiting is completed, the door 13 is predicted to start closing at time τ 25, and is further predicted to end closing at time τ 26.
[0040]
For the above operation process, the time τ0 to time τ21 is the broadcasting time zone Pa during acceleration, the time τ21 to time τ22 is the broadcasting time zone Pr during deceleration, and the time τ22 to time τ24 is the broadcasting time when the door is open. It is the band Po, and the time τ24 to the time τ26 is the door closing broadcast time band Pc.
Each broadcast time zone P is not a sufficient time to send out the guidance broadcast An, and it is necessary to adjust the broadcast timing Tm recorded in the broadcast data memory 18 as described in FIG. 5B. .
[0041]
That is, when the elevator operation process is in the acceleration broadcast time zone Pa, the broadcast data D5 and D6 are read from the broadcast data memory 18. However, the guidance broadcast A6 does not end within the broadcast time zone Pa during acceleration at the broadcast timing T02.
Therefore, as shown in FIG. 5B, first, the broadcast timing T02 of the guide broadcast A6 is advanced by δ02 ′ so that the guide broadcast A6 ends within the acceleration broadcast time zone Pa, and T02 ′ = T02−δ02. Set to ′. Further, by advancement of the broadcast timing T02, the broadcast timing T01 is advanced by δ01 ′ and set to T01 ′ = T01−δ01 ′, and adjustment is performed so as to avoid the overlap between the guide broadcast A5 and the guide broadcast A6.
The guide broadcast A5 is sent out at the adjusted broadcast timing T01 ', and the guide broadcast A6 is sent out at the broadcast timing T02'.
[0042]
When the operation process of the elevator becomes the broadcast time zone Pr during deceleration, the destination floor 14o is the third floor, so that the broadcast data D103 and D203 are read from the broadcast data memory 18 based on the destination floor signal from the elevator control device 1.
By the way, the guidance broadcast A203 does not end within the broadcast time zone Pr during deceleration at the broadcast timing T12.
Therefore, the broadcast timing Tm is advanced so as to end within the deceleration broadcast time zone Pr, similar to the adjustment in the acceleration broadcast time zone Pa. That is, the broadcast timing T12 is adjusted to T12 ′ = T12−δ12 ′, and the broadcast timing T11 is adjusted to T11 ′ = T11−δ11 ′.
The guide broadcast A103 is sent out at the adjusted broadcast timing T11 ', and the guide broadcast A203 is sent out at the broadcast timing T12'.
[0043]
The opening time broadcasting time period Po is the same as that in FIG.
[0044]
When the elevator operation process becomes the door closing broadcast time zone Pc, the broadcast data D2 and D4 are read from the broadcast data memory 18 as in the case of FIG. However, it is assumed that the passenger number detection signal indicates that the number of passengers is small, and door closing is promoted and the door 13 starts to close at time τ25. For this reason, it is expected that the guidance broadcast A4 cannot be broadcast before the door closing start at the broadcast timing T51.
Therefore, the broadcast timing Tm is advanced in response to the promotion of door closing. That is, the broadcast timing T51 is adjusted to T51 ′ = T51−δ51 ′. Due to this adjustment, the guidance broadcast A2 and the guidance broadcast A4 overlap. Therefore, the broadcast timing T41 is adjusted to T41 ′ = T41−δ41 ′ to avoid duplication.
The guide broadcast A2 is sent out at the adjusted broadcast timing T41 ', and the guide broadcast A4 is sent out at the broadcast timing T51'.
[0045]
FIG. 8 is an explanatory diagram showing, in time series, the operation process of the elevator when the lifting distance Fn is short-distance traveling.
The first departure floor 14s is the first floor, and the destination floor 14o is the second floor. Accordingly, the traveling distance is a short distance with an elevation distance Fn of 1, and a speed pattern SP1 is set for the elevation distance Fn. This speed pattern SP1 is completed in a shorter time than the speed pattern SP2.
That is, when the car 12 is actually started from the first floor 14s at time τ0, the car 12 is predicted to accelerate based on the speed pattern SP1 and starts to decelerate at time τ11, and arrives at the destination floor 14o at time τ13. Expected.
[0046]
It is predicted that the door 13 starts to open at time τ12 before the car 12 arrives at the destination floor 14o and ends at time τ14. After the passenger boarding / exiting is finished, the door 13 is predicted to start closing at time τ15, and is further predicted to end closing at time τ16.
[0047]
From the time τ 0 to time τ 11, the acceleration broadcast time zone Pa, from time τ 11 to time τ 12 is the deceleration time broadcast time Pr, and from time τ 12 to time τ 14 are the door opening time broadcast hours. It is the band Po, and the time τ14 to the time τ16 is the door closing broadcast time band Pc.
Each broadcast time zone P is not a sufficient time for sending out the guidance broadcast An, and it is necessary to adjust the broadcast timing Tm recorded in the broadcast data memory 18 as described in FIG. .
[0048]
That is, when the elevator operation process is in the acceleration broadcast time zone Pa, the broadcast data D5 and D6 are read from the broadcast data memory 18. However, the guidance broadcast A6 does not end within the broadcast time zone Pa during acceleration even if the broadcast timing T02 is promoted to the limit value δ02 of the broadcast timing adjustment range Δt.
Therefore, as shown in FIG. 5C, first, the broadcast timing T02 of the guide broadcast A6 is advanced by the limit value δ02 so that the guide broadcast A6 ends within the broadcast time zone Pa during acceleration, and T02 ″ = T02−. In addition to being set to δ02, the broadcast duration Lt6 is shortened to Lt6 ′ and terminated within the broadcast time zone Pa at the time of acceleration. Further, by advancement of the broadcast timing T02, the broadcast timing T01 is also advanced by the limit value δ01 and T01 ″ = In addition to setting T01−δ01, the broadcast duration Lt5 is shortened to Lt5 ′, and adjustment is performed so as to avoid the overlap between the guide broadcast A5 and the guide broadcast A6.
The guide broadcast A5 is transmitted at the adjusted broadcast timing T01 ″ and the broadcast duration Lt5 ′, and the guide broadcast A6 is transmitted at the broadcast timing T02 ″ and the broadcast duration Lt6 ′.
[0049]
When the operation process of the elevator becomes the broadcast time zone Pr during deceleration, the destination floor 14o is the second floor, so that the broadcast data D102 and D202 are read from the broadcast data memory 18 based on the destination floor signal from the elevator control device 1.
The deceleration broadcast time zone Pr is the same as the acceleration broadcast time zone Pa, and the broadcast timing T12 of the guide broadcast A202 is advanced by the limit value δ12 so that the guide broadcast A202 ends within the deceleration broadcast time zone Pr. Thus, T12 ″ = T12−δ12 is set, and the broadcast continuation time Lt200 is shortened to Lt200 ′ and terminated within the broadcast time zone Pr during deceleration.
[0050]
Further, with the advance of the broadcast timing T12, the broadcast timing T11 is also advanced by the limit value δ11 and set to T11 ″ = T11−δ11, and the broadcast duration Lt100 is shortened to Lt100 ′, so that the guide broadcast A102 and the guide broadcast A202 overlap Adjust to avoid.
The guide broadcast A102 is transmitted at the adjusted broadcast timing T11 ″ and the broadcast duration Lt100 ′, and the guide broadcast A202 is transmitted at the broadcast timing T02 ″ and the broadcast duration Lt200 ′.
[0051]
The door opening time broadcasting period Po and the door closing time broadcasting time period Pc are the same as in the case of FIG.
[0052]
Next, the operation of the elevator guidance broadcast apparatus will be described with reference to FIG.
When the activation of the car 12 is detected in step S11, the lift distance Fn is calculated in response to the destination floor signal from the elevator controller 1 in step S12. In step S13, a speed pattern SP is set corresponding to the ascending / descending distance Fn, and based on this speed pattern SP, the start period Pas and the end period Pae of the acceleration broadcast time slot Pa, the start stage Prs and the end Pre of the deceleration broadcast time slot Pr The start period Pos and end period Poe of the door opening time broadcast time period Po, and the start period Pcs and end time Pce of the door close time broadcast time period Pc are predicted and recorded in the broadcast time period memory 17.
[0053]
In step S14, the program branches depending on each broadcast time zone P. In the broadcast time zone Pa during acceleration, broadcast data D5 and D6 are read from the broadcast data memory 18 in the step S15. In the broadcast time zone Pr during deceleration time, the destination floor is obtained in step S16. The broadcast data D10 (f) and D20 (f) are read with reference to 14o. In the open-door broadcast time zone Po, the broadcast data D1 is read in step S17, and in the open-door broadcast time zone Pc, step S18. Either broadcast data D2 or D3 and D4 are read depending on the driving direction of the basket 12. Further, the end Pce of the door closing broadcast time zone Pc is reset by the passenger number detection signal from the elevator control device 1 in step S19.
[0054]
When each broadcast data D (n) is read, it is checked in step S20 whether or not each guide broadcast An ends before the end of each broadcast time zone P. As described in FIG. 6, when the broadcast time zone P is long and ends before the end of the period, “YES” is set and the process proceeds to step S23.
If not completed, “NO” is determined, and the broadcast timing Tm is adjusted within the broadcast timing adjustment range Δt in step S21. As described with reference to FIG. 7, when the adjustment ends before the end of the broadcast time period P, “YES” is determined and the process proceeds to step S <b> 23. If it cannot be terminated, “NO” is determined, and in step S22, as described in FIG. 8, the broadcast duration Lt is shortened, the broadcast speed of the guide broadcast An is increased, and the program ends within the broadcast time zone P. Is adjusted to step S23.
[0055]
In step S23, it is checked whether or not the broadcast durations Lt of the adjacent guide broadcasts An with the broadcast timing Tm overlap. As described with reference to FIG. 6, if there is no overlap, “YES” is determined, and the process proceeds to step S26. If they overlap, “NO”, the broadcast timing Tm is adjusted within the broadcast timing adjustment range Δt in step S24. As described with reference to FIG. 7, when the overlap is eliminated by this adjustment, “YES” is determined, and the process proceeds to step S <b> 26. If the overlap cannot be resolved, the answer is “NO”, and as described in FIG. 8, the broadcast duration Lt is shortened in step S25, the broadcast speed of the guidance broadcast An is increased and adjusted so as not to overlap, and the process proceeds to step S26. Move. In step S26, the broadcast timing Tm is set to a value after adjustment.
The process S100 from the procedure S20 to the procedure S26 functions as the broadcast timing adjusting means 5.
[0056]
In step S27, the program branches depending on each broadcast timing Tm. In the case of the broadcast timing T01, after the guidance broadcast A5 is broadcast via the voice synthesizer 22 in step S28, it waits for the broadcast timing T02 in step S29. In step S30, the guidance broadcast A6 is broadcast. In step S31, the process returns to step S14 after the acceleration broadcast time zone Pa elapses, and the process proceeds to the next deceleration broadcast time zone Pr.
In the case of the broadcast timing T11 in step S27, after the guide broadcast A10 (f) is broadcast in step S32, the guide broadcast A20 (f) is broadcast in step S34 after waiting for the broadcast timing T12 in step S33. After waiting for the deceleration broadcast time zone Pr to elapse in step S35, the process returns to step S14 and proceeds to the next door opening broadcast time zone Po.
[0057]
In step S27, in the case of the broadcast timing T21, after the guidance broadcast A1 is broadcast in step S36, in step S37, the process returns to step S14 after waiting for the opening time broadcasting period Po to pass, and at the next door closing time. The process moves to the broadcast time zone Pc.
In step S27, in the case of the broadcast timing T41, after the guide broadcast A2 or A3 is broadcast according to the driving direction of the car 12 in step S38, after waiting for the broadcast timing T51 in step S39, the guide broadcast in step S40. After A4 is broadcast, the elevator guidance broadcasting device ends its operation.
[0058]
That is, when the acceleration broadcast time zone Pa is set in step S14, the broadcast timing T01 corresponds in step S27, similarly, the deceleration broadcast time zone Pr corresponds to the broadcast timing T11, and the door open time broadcast time Po. Broadcast timing T21 corresponds, and door closing broadcast time zone Pc corresponds to broadcast timing T41.
When a new car activation signal is input from the elevator control device 1, the operation is restarted from step S11.
[0059]
According to the first embodiment, the speed pattern SP is set according to the lift distance Fn of the car 12, and the broadcast time zones Pa, Pr, Po, and Pc are predicted and set based on the speed pattern SP. The guidance broadcast An can be sent prior to the driving process, and since it is based on the speed pattern SP, it can be sent in a timely manner.
In addition, since the broadcast timing Tm is adjusted, even if the time widths of the broadcast time zones Pa and Pr change with the change in the lift distance Fn, the respective guide broadcasts An within the broadcast time zones Pa and Pr. Can be terminated, and duplication with the adjacent guidance broadcast An can be avoided.
[0060]
Further, the door closing broadcast time zone Pc is changed by the passenger number detection signal, and the broadcast timings T41 and T51 are adjusted based on the changed door closing broadcast time zone Pc, so that the door closing start is promoted. Even if this is the case, the guidance broadcast An can be sent out in a timely manner.
Furthermore, the guide broadcast An is terminated within the broadcast time zone P, and in order to avoid duplication, priority is given to adjustment of the broadcast timing Tm, and the broadcast duration Lt is not changed as much as possible. An can be heard.
[0061]
Furthermore, since the guide broadcast An is increased to shorten the broadcast duration Lt, even if the intended broadcast cannot be performed only by adjusting the broadcast timing Tm, the broadcast duration Pt can be reduced by reducing the broadcast duration Lt. The guidance broadcast An can be transmitted without being duplicated.
Furthermore, since it is divided into a plurality of broadcast time zones P according to the operation process of the elevator and the broadcast timing Tm is counted starting from the beginning of the broadcast time zone P, it is timely guided according to the operation process. Broadcast An can be sent out.
[0062]
In the first embodiment, the speed pattern SP is set starting from the start time τ0 of the car 12, and each broadcast time zone P is predicted and set based on the speed pattern SP. However, the broadcast time zone Pr during deceleration is The actual Prs start time from the elevator control device 1 may be set as the initial Prs. Thereby, the broadcast time zone Pr at the time of deceleration can be further matched with the operation process of the elevator.
Similarly, in the door closing broadcast time zone Pc, the guidance broadcast An can be further matched to the operation process of the elevator by setting the time point when the actual door 13 is opened as the start Pcs.
